I can understand airbrushing under the eyes, but to remove his pores lol just wrong the picture of him outside is his true face under natural light

regardless when you see him in person even with the makeup the face is intact !!!

Dear Prince,

Please update your website with more compelling content- a news update or two, a contest and some rare videos we've never seen before.

Thanks

P.S. nice haircut cool

The obvious photoshopping-airbrushing-whatever only calls more attention to the 'problems' Prince seems concerned about, like under his eyes and his cheek/jowl area. Its like somebody just used the soften or smudge tool without making any effort to be discreet. The skin of his cheeks and undereyes has this weird blurry quality, yet other sections of his face and his neck appear to actually have pores and texture.

I wish Prince would understand that the body changing as you age isn't a terrible thing. Sure you might not look as bright and shiny as you did 20 years ago, but you gain other things that make you sexy and attractive..things that are beyond the physical and superficial and distinguish you WAY MORE than a lineless face.

With that said, his big brown eyes are KILLER. love

Yep, Vendetta and I have seen him face to face and he don't need no darn air brushing.



Let's dedicate a song to brother Princey from one of the best songwriters in the business... Even though it's about a relationship it could also be about anybody you happen to like. biggrin

"Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are."
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

I'll just let people keep saying he's airbrushed. Seems to make them happy. lol

This picture makes him look even thinner and not quite sure if I like the shaved sides or if its slicked back. Hard to tell without a back head shot but it does look much tighter to the head than the limo pic.

Yes, I remember you and vendetta seeing Prince very close and upfront at the Empire Club in Vegas when you chatted with him for a few minutes when he came out to chat with fans. I was right behind you and got in a word or two myself.

As far as his looks, he's gorgeous on the outside and inside, so he really has nothing to worry about. Nice song babynoz, for you to dedicate to him.

Prince is in the public eye an he noz it. But listen to his lyrics. He seems to like 'dark brown or silver lace' because afterall, 'age is just a cage.'
Critics and fans are merciless when it come to good looks in show biz. Imagine if Prince let his looks go or dated someone not too spectacular. Is it really Prince who cares so much about all of this? He's a major star and we expect all stars to be flawless. So if U have to blame someone blame the fans and public.

Prince i think U look fine however U wear Ur hair cool please come home soon.

The hair is not the problem. Something is off about the pose.


I don't like it 'cause he looks medicated and overly airbrushed/made up. He needs to wipe his mouth too. nod

I know he wants to look his best just like anybody else but I wish I could convince him that aging with grace and dignity is a beautiful thing. He needs to understand that he can be more natural and keep some flair at the same time. He seems to panic if anybody even hints about him looking older.


I totally agree! Yep, I think it's a shame he's going down that route, because he'll never win! He must be so paranoid about anyone getting a bad close up or just his appearance on an every day level. He's SO talented, and he could really look and be cool, by maybe letting his hair grow longer, and just going with it...not trying to keep up with with the 'Hollywood never grow older' brigade!

He doesn't even have any PORES on his face, and not one little grey hair anywhere! I don't think he's human.

I have seen him up close several times, he looks cool, great even. But those are still photoshopped images.

Exactly!!! I don't care if he looks like a 50 year old man. I don't expect anyone to be flawless because I'm not.

Why do people put expectations on people they wouldn't put on themselves?

it always cracks me up to see people on the Org dismantle someone when we have no idea what any of them look like.

Why does everyone assume Prince told someone to airbrush him? Maybe the people who took the picture presumed thats what one should do before disseminating it to the public, insofar as thats what 90% of the publicity photos anyone sees have been through? Its not like Prince hasn't authorized the release of unflattering (non-photoshopped) photos of him in the last 10 years.

Just a question.
